Audi claim the compact two-seater sets new standards in design, drive, and suspension.
A particular highlight in the third TT generation is the Audi virtual cockpit. For the first time, the digital instrumentation provides all information within the driver's field of vision. This has already led to Audi TT's new display and control system receiving the Car Connectivity Award and the honour of Interior Innovation of the Year at the Automotive Interiors Expo Awards.
The new TT Roadster combines the dynamic ride of a sports car with the driving experience of an open-top two-seater. The car is sporty, compact and has a low-slung stance on the road. Both Roadsters feature an electrically actuated fabric top available as standard. The soft top weights just 39kg and is 3kg lighter than its predecessor. The electric drive with the two electric motors performs opening and closing in 10 seconds, even at speeds of up to 50km/h.
The TT Roadster is being launched with two turbocharged engines, a 2.0 TDI diesel and a 2.0 TFSI petrol unit, with power outputs between 184hp and 310hp. The quattro permanent all-wheel drive is optionally available with the 2.0 petrol engine in the TT Roadster and is fitted as standard on the TTS Roadster.
Eleven exterior colours are offered, one of which is exclusively for the S line. There's also a new palette of colours for the interior.
The Irish equipment and pricing for both cars will be announced shortly with first customer deliveries in Q1 2015.
